Abstract: Technologies are described for performing replication of data within a database environment having a source node and a replica node. The source node executes a database operation on at least one database table stored by the source node. The source node asynchronously sends the database operation to the replica node. A prepare commit request is synchronously sent from the source node to the replica node. The source node receives a synchronous precommit acknowledgement from the replica node. The precommit acknowledgement indicates that the database operation was executed at the replica node. The source node commits a transaction associated with the database operation.
